Work

My work is an extension of myself. I've deviated from following the corporate world in the beginning to co-founding companies, and now joining startups. I love to have autonomy and learn while in action.

Thoughts

A collection of my writings and reflections.

Eat With Your Tongue

Feb 15, 25527 words3 min

Eat with your tongue. I eat fast. I used to eat so fast in high school that food would get stuck in my esophagus. This would be immensely painful. You'd think after the first time, I'd learn - over the course of the next year, I would have it happen 8 more times. (Eventual) learning lesson from this? To eat slower, but that's all.

I have an Ego

Feb 19, 251292 words7 min

I have an Ego. I have just realized this within the past 2 years. Looking back, it seems obvious that I had one, but at the same time, no. I would say that people would consider me humble, and I tried pretty hard to be so - I wanted to emulate Jesus, and I considered that trait very admirable. Despite being humble around others, I’ve realized that it doesn’t mean that I didn’t haven an ego. I always thought that an ego just meant being vocally arrogant, and outspoken about how you are better than others in whatever metric. I realized that this is just one obvious symptom of an ego but there are asymptomatic signs of an ego that one can have. Middle & high school are when fitting in becomes critical, and comparisons start to emerge in your head. Whether we are comparing looks, weight, intelligence, athletic ability, video game skills - the (in)securities start to develop, and thus, with those insecurities come judgement. Because, how else do children feel secure within our insecurities without judging others?

House of Feathers

Nov 9, 25351 words2 min

Today, you collected more feathers. Each day is another day of collecting feathers to build this beautiful house. As you collect more feathers, the more structure and rooms you can build. A few years of collecting and now you have a finished basement, sunroom, and a beautiful garden. Together, the feathers have made one beautiful home.
